With the news of COVID-19, and the urgency of people to wash their hands and using hand sanitizer at an all-time high, there is also something that isn't talked about - how dry your hands can be after all of the handwashing.
I'm using to washing my hands a lot. Since Bear was born, that's really what we did several times a day. Change his diaper? Wash hands. Feed
It's been a while since I've done a beauty post recommendation. My skin lately has been on point (and before I go any further - healthy living (clean food and no smoking) and drinking lots of water has played a significant role in that), I wanted to share my picks that have made my skin look so amazing, I don't need filters.
No filters, bih.
Cleanser: Shiseido - White
Okay, probably not perfect, but good enough.
Last week, I took Bear to see Sonic along with one of his friends from school (and his mother). We first sat in the back because I felt it was a easier exit, but we ended up moving closer to the front so the kids could see better. (Note for next time.)
It's been a while since we've gone to the movies (last
Bear with the United Airlines pilots out of LAX.
Last week, my oldest brother got married in Las Vegas. Rather than taking yet another long road trip, we decided to use up the rest of Maks's frequent flyer miles to fly. I also got to see Mariah Carey one more time, so I have to mention Mimi since she was a Valentine's/anniversary gift:
Mariah!
We stayed at the

So, in my homesteading adventures, I've grown a whole-ass lavender and rosemary bush. And for the past couple of years, I've struggled to come up with things to do with that bush. Drying it out and hanging it up as a decoration (something I've planned to do but never did) was an option but I wanted more.
Then, my brilliant husband suggested - 'Why don't you come up with
So, Trader Joe's recently released its 10th Annual Customer Choice Award Winners. It's not a list I actively follow and honestly, I just found out about it this year.
Some of the stuff on the list I've tried before so it wasn't a surprise. As many times as I've been in Trader Joe's, however, I never really paid too much attention to the Mandarin Chicken.
Now we do try
Now, before I go any further with this and to keep the feminist crowd at bay, I don't believe Kobe is a rapist, sexual assaulter, etcetera and so forth. I didn't believe it back in 2004 and I damn sure don't believe it in 2020. That being said, if those are your beliefs, you probably want to stop here.
I'm going to keep it one hundred, I'm a bit
As adults, we all know the unspoken rule that you use sick days for non-sick activities. Yes, I know people use sick days for actual sick days but sometimes you want to play hooky and use those days for fun. (Let's keep it one hundred, fam.)
So, I thought about what I wanted to do with Bear. He's a good kid and an excellent student. He's only missed two days
